What are you waiting for???

If someone had asked me where I thought I’d be now a few
years back, I definitely wouldn’t say here. About five or ten years ago, I had
my whole life planned out. By this time, I would be a doctor, psychiatrist to
be specific, married to a wonderful man, with a set of adorable twins… I don’t really
have any of those as we speak right now.

I guess you can call it growing up, because my experiences throughout
the whole of last week have showed me that nothing in life is really black and white,
there will always be gray areas, and there will always be exceptions to the
rule. I’ve made so many drastic changes since then, that everyone I know keeps
asking what happened while was away…

If I was to summarize the answer, I would say, I let go. We make
plans, all of us, but at the end of the day, nothing really is within our
control. The job you thought you would have at this age is probably not the one
you have now, and the partner you have is probably not the one you thought you
would have, the friends you thought would be your besties forever have lost
touch with you and the life you are living is probably so far from what you
imagined it would be.

So I have come to realize that the only person you can rely
on apart from yourself in this world, the only person you should rely on in
fact is God. Because after all is said and done, He is the one that was, and is
and is.

Walk on the water-Britt Nicole

You look around, staring back at you

Another wave of doubt, will it pull you under?

You wonderWhat if I'm overtaken?

What if I never make it?

What if no one's there?

Will You hear my prayer?

When you take that first step into the unknown

You know that He won't let you go

So what are you waiting for?

What do you have to lose?

Your insecurities, they try to alter you

But you know you're made for more,

so don't be afraid to move

Your faith is all it takes, and you can walk on the water, too

So get out, and let your fear fall to the ground

No time to waste, don't wait,

and don't you turn around and miss out

Everything you were made for,

know you're not sure

So you play it safe, you try to run awayIf you take that first step into the unknownHe won't let you go

So what are you waiting for?

What do you have to lose?

Your insecurities, they try to alter you

But you know you're made for more,

so don't be afraid to move

Your faith is all it takes, and you can walk on the water, too

Step out, even when it's storming

Step out, even when you're broken

Step out, even when your heart is telling youTelling you to give upStep out, when your hope is stolen

Step out, you can't see where you're going

You don't have to be afraid

So what are you waiting, what are you waiting for?So what are you waiting for?

What do you have to lose?

Your insecurities try to alter you

You know you're made for more, so don't be afraid to move

Your faith is all it takes, and you can walk on the waterWalk on the water, too
